Celebrity Parade is laying the foundation for a new escape, when Celebrity Xcel launched in November 2025.
The ship will introduce the cruise company's first dedicated brunch venue, Bora. It will offer a lively Mediterranean-style menu and panoramic sea views.
During the day, Bora will serve seafood brunch classics like Shakshuka, Salmon Gravlax Benedict and decades scrap French toast and transform into an intimate dining experience with chef-led table preparations at night.
Apart from dining, Celebrity Xcel promises to have a full lineup of entertainment designed to keep the spirit of “date night, all day”. Guests can enjoy three new theatre productions, interactive performances, and themed parties at the club, including 80s nights, candlelight concerts and country music celebrations.
“Reconnecting with loved ones in a new experience is important for celebrity guests,” said Michael Scheiner, chief marketing and product officer at Celebrity Cruises. “Celebrity Xcel will be their place of joy and offer new dining options and entertainment, creating endless opportunities for shared memories.”
After the Caribbean season at Everglades Port, celebrity Xcel will be repositioning in the summer of 2026, sailing the Mediterranean itinerary from Barcelona and Athens and spending a new overnight stay on Madeira.
